5407.61.99.05 - Flat fabrics (619) 🖩

This HTS category, 5407.61.99.05, encompasses unbleached or bleached woven fabrics that are manufactured from synthetic filament yarn. Specifically, these fabrics must contain 85 percent or more by weight of polyester filaments, and these polyester filaments must be non-textured. Furthermore, the fabric's weight must not exceed 170 grams per square meter. This classification applies to "other" types of fabrics within these precise material and weight parameters, after excluding more specific sub-classifications at higher levels.

The distinction between this subcategory and its sibling, 5407.61.99.10, lies in the processing state. While both fall under the broader umbrella of non-textured, polyester filament woven fabrics weighing not more than 170 g/m², 5407.61.99.05 specifically covers fabrics that are either unbleached or have undergone a bleaching process. This differentiates them from dyed or printed fabrics that would be classified elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this level, indicating that all other criteria for woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn containing 85 percent or more by weight of non-textured polyester filaments, weighing not more than 170 g/m², and that are unbleached or bleached, are met. Importers and exporters should ensure their product precisely matches all these specified physical and chemical characteristics to accurately apply this classification.
